The key is, how long was he out and about spreading it? And when he came in to the hospital did he warn them or just walk in to ER..
When the patient arrived, the patient had already been intubated, was on a ventilator, and given droplet protection orders because of an undiagnosed and suspected viral condition, t
He came in the door sick.
So we know it was some period of time.
Plus, how many healthcare workers and other patients were exposed while the CDC was refusing to test?
Yep...out and about, spreading it...who knows where... and who all was exposed, at UC Davis, before his diagnosis was just confirmed?
Reading the article, it sounds to me like contagion problems would be most likely at the hospital the patient was transferred from, or, prior to that.
